Chapter 726
Time trickled by, Edward nervously held Felicity's hands, waiting for more than three hours. Finally, with his head lowered, he heard a weak voice.
"Edward…"
The man's eyes instantly lit up. He raised his head and met the girl's gaze, which had just awoken.
'I'm here!" He looked up at once and approached her, answering in a low voice.
Felicity gradually adapted to the light, and when she saw the man's anxious face, the nightmare she had just had dissipated.
Just now, she felt that she was trapped in a dark world, unable to escape or find the exit, as if she would be swallowed by this darkness in the next second. Fortunately, there was a voice calling out to her that prevented her from feeling afraid.
It was that same voice that had guided her in her search for light.
"I'm thirsty!" Felicity slightly moved her lips.
"Alright, I'll get you some water!" Edward pressed the bell first, then poured her a cup of water.
Very quickly, the physician rushed over.
"Mr. Edward, is Miss Felicity awake?" the attending doctor asked as he opened the door and saw the glass of water in his hand.
"Yes, she just woke up! Do you need to examine her?"
The doctor nodded. "I'd like to ask about her."
The doctor came to Felicity's side and roughly examined her, then asked about her body's reaction.
Felicity then answered all of his questions, causing the doctor to feel slightly relieved, he turned and said to Edward: "Mr. Edward, you can temporarily let Miss Felicity drink. We'll come over later to ask her."
"Thank you!" Edward nodded towards the doctor with gratitude.
After the doctor left, Edward rested Felicity gently against the pillow, and took the cup to give her some water.
Felicity reached out to take the cup, but her hands were still wrapped in bandages, so Edward could only press her hands down, "I will feed it to you!"
Felicity was a little embarrassed, but at the moment, she could only rely on his care.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, Felicity felt better, and then she said sorrowfully: "Am I disfigured?"
"No, you're still beautiful!" Edward looked at the bandage on her cheek, and indeed, it didn't affect her beauty, but instead gave people a mischievous feeling.
"Really? Show me the mirror. I want to see what I look like now." Felicity immediately said anxiously.
"There's no mirror here. Felicity, why don't you tell me how did you get into a car accident?" Edward held her two small hands gently, and his low voice revealed worry.
It was only then that Felicity realized that she really had more important things to tell him.
"I remember that there were several cars that were always trying to pass me, and I also wanted to let them pass first. But I kept letting them pass, until I reached the extreme right side of the road, but then I didn't expect that my car would actually be hit ruthlessly by someone behind me. I didn't have the time to step on the brakes, and the car rolled down from the side of the fence." As Felicity recalled that horrified accident, she felt her entire body turn creepy.
She didn't want to experience it again for the rest of her life.
Edward's expression became uglier the more he listened, and his voice gradually turned cold: "Looks like someone really did hit you on purpose, which is why you flipped over."
"Yeah, I'm very sure that someone hit me. Although I didn't have enough time to see who hit me, it definitely wasn't because of a mistake on me. Edward, you have to help me investigate this properly."
Felicity was very sure that she was framed, and it was too scary. Who exactly was it that wanted destroy her life?
"Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end. If I find out who harmed you, I will definitely not let him survive. I will make him pay ten times the price!" Edward comforted her gently, but
the bottom of his eyes flashed with a sharp light.
At the same time, Felicity's accident car had already been dragged up. After checking, he found out that there were traces of being hit on the back of the car, which confirmed Felicity's words.
In order to take a shortcut, Felicity chose to take a path that was not filled with many pedestrians. The surveillance camera aside the road was currently being checked out by the traffic police, and they discovered that there were four cars incessantly forcing Felicity's sports car, the last car that crashed into her, their license plates were all covered.
They only knew what kind of car it was. For a specific investigation, it would still take some time.
When Edward found out about this from his assistant Larry, he became even more furious, these people had obviously come prepared.
What was the reason for their killing intent?
Was it because of Felicity or him?
Edward couldn't guess the answer in a short while, so he could only wait for the results to come out and test it out.
Currently, the most important matter was Felicity's treatment.
The time, it was already past 6 PM!
Felicity did not faint again. Instead, after eating something, she laid down on the bed to rest, and
answered a few calls to enter.
Seeing her in a daze, he immediately went up and asked with concern: "What happened? Is there anything wrong with it?"
"I'm fine right now. It's just that my head is hurting a bit. But it might be due to the surgery." Felicity's head had been received four stitches, the wound wasn't very big, but it had to be observed carefully. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"It's already dark outside the window. The children must have been taken back. How can I tell the children about me?" Felicity was a little troubled. If the children were to see her like this, she wondered how scared they would be.
"I'll call my grandma first and ask about the kids." Edward was also worrying about this matter, and for a moment, he didn't know whether or not he should tell the truth to the children.
"Why don't you just tell them a lie and tell them that I'm on an urgent business trip. When my condition is better, I'll go back and see them." Felicity suddenly suggested an idea.
"Are we really going to lie to them?" Edward frowned, he was in a difficult situation: "We kept telling them that they were not allowed to lie, but as their parents, we did."
Because of his serious look, Felicity couldn't help but chuckle, which made her wound hurt again. She frowned, and let out a painful cry.
Edward walked over and berated her softly, "You clearly know that you're injured, but you still don't know how to love and protect yourself."
Felicity raised her gaze, facing the man's anxious and worried expression, the corner of her mouth raised again: "I'm fine, don't worry."
"How can I not be anxious? Seeing you like this. I feel really uncomfortable in my heart. I would rather be the one lying here than you!" Edward really wanted to bear all of this pain for her.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Felicity immediately reprimanded him softly, "I don't want you to get hurt."
